What to expect
Forte Falcone
The fort was build by Cosimo I of The Medici family in 1548, it is one of the landmarks of the town. The structure is an amazing military architecture, just to mention some small details all the loopholes have a distinct direction to be able to see the sea and the land from every angle. The Fort can be seen from the outside or can be visited internally, where you will see the galleries that were turned into the quarters of the Royal Marine during World War II. There are also the XVI century underground tunnels and the beltway that offer astonishing views on the archipelago.
